ROLL CALL - March - DE Board

Great idea Tammy!! WOW...Happy Birthday Cathy! Good Luck, Fran! I'm just pacing, waiting, worrying. Scope on 3/18. PreOp with Dr. Wynn on 4/1. Worrying that my house will sell, and I'll be moving the week after surgery! Worrying that surgery will be put off and I'll have to do that weight management class. Ken

Ken, Please try not to worry so much. Believe me ... I know ... easier said than done. Hugs to you!!! Tammy

Hi Girls and Guys! I' m here too! Thanks Tammy for putting up my new pic! Congrats to those! Best of luck Fran! Happy Birthday to those of you with birthdays! MY birthday was Monday the 8th (I turned 33!). 5 1/2 months post op and have lost 93lbs! Only 34lbs to go until I hit goal! My husband and I went away this past weekend for our anniversary and for the first time ever I was able to buy a sweatshirt off the boardwalk clearance rack and I was worried it might be too big! I am now experiencing problems with rashes under the belly skin. (I'm keeping all episodes of that documented for the hopes of a tummy tuck). I can't wait to go summer clothes shopping!!! (will wait until May though). We all need to get together for a dinner! My house is open to all. I was thinking in May so it could be a BBQ style where the meats are grilled and better for us. Anyone try the new Tropicana Apple juice that is less in sugar? I thinks its called Tropicana 50. Excellent especially if you are one like me who can't stand those Crystal Light drinks. Peace! Hope

Congratulations Hope ... You are doing soooo well!!! I am so proud of you. I can hardly believe the transformation I have seen in you!!! Keep up the good work! As far as the BBQ goes ... that sounds fun to me. Let's see if we can get the group together!!! I have not tried any juice since the first couple of days after surgery. May have to try that one. I also would like to try the light cranberry. Is there any orange juice we can do? I have been craving that. I do Crystal lite ... mostly just the lemonade cause I can get it pretty cheap at Cosco and I do it mostly hot like tea. Works for me ... but strange I know!!! Hugs, Tammy

Hi everyone! I'm hanging in here too!! Just got back Monday night from a much needed vacation in the bahamas!!!! I had a pretty rough start the first couple of months, but I'll tell you, after taking 8 days away... boy am I feeling great now!!! WOO-HOO!! The only bad part is I have been stuck on the stupid plateau again! Seems to becoming quite popular for me the last month or so....As much exercise as I got last week, I just knew i had to bust it!!! - NOT! Oh well, as long as I'm feeling better, I think that means the most to me right now.... (but that will get old real quick too..LOL) Good luck Friday Fran! And Happy Birthday to Cathy! And to everyone else!! Take care ~ Jess 258/201/135?!?!?!

Hello there. I exercise at least 3 times per week and I am hating the scale. I am 4 months out and have only lost 67 lbs. I continue to hit plateaus every other two weeks it seems and then bam 5 lbs gone and another plateau. I am feeling so discouraged. Do you have any advice?

Me too Shannon!!! Wish I had wise advise to give both of us!!! Hugs!!!

I say we all just stowaway to the Bahamas with Jess next time she goes!!! Or maybe we could all just have a DE-WL Cruise ... the food bill would not be too high. And they could stock protein shakes in the bar?

Hi everyone, I'm back to work, Ugh!!!!!!!! I'm going to start playing the lottery. Hope all is well with everyone.

If you win are you going to remember your friends here??? *grin*
